I have been working all morning to add a horizontal spry menu bar to the
menu_bar section of the Mother Earth Template
(http://www.webshapes.org/template/de...02247034127204) from
Webshapes (http://www.webshapes.org/)

Anyway, I had to do some crazy positioning to get the submenus to lign up with
the menus and now the submenus will not display in IE because of an 'expanding
box problem' All of the problems are associated with either my
"ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul" or my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul"

Can anyone me with this? I am a beginner with Dreamweaver and have been
having a lot of troubles with it. Thanks.
